Yes, the tire blocks are larger than your shims, so the shim indeed has that advantage. Let us know how it works out after you gain some experience with them in a variety of situations.
I do. It's really easy because the pieces lock together. I just build the ramps and put it in front of each tire. The chocks lock in place, too, and then I know when to stop without rolling off the other side. You can see a picture of my setup with the Lynx Levelers and chocks in the link below:vulcanbill said:Do you need to get both tires of a dual axle TT up in the air at the same level? Seems like that would be kind of difficult. With the Lynx Levelers, do you just build a ramp and keep going till you're level? How does the lynx chock work with the levelers? Pictures?

RLSharp said:From your picture it is not evident how you place the ramps to start the process of driving upon them. The rear ramp appears to be too long to place between the tires. Is this a perception thing or am I missing something?

Work extremely well even on sloped ground. I can pinch down tight enough that the trailer will not move. It release them I carry a 3/4" wrench and a hammer. Yea... You got to smack the top wedge once to release them.

It might be best to have a instruction manual or check list handy to keep you from getting hurt or damaging your RV. (Personal suggestion)
Like for levelling my Jayco TT I do my left to right with cut 2x6 boards. Once the left to right is done I use my home built wheel chocks and lock the RV from moving then unhitch the truck. Then using the tongue jack I'll do my front to rear levelling. Then I put down all four corner stabilizer jacks to steady the RV. Really you don't have to put them down but it give the RV a solid feel. But like out here in the yard when its store at home I level it out and leave the stabilizer jack up and not use them. Still go out and hang out in it but the rig feel rocky or like there is spring in your step. No biggy.
